since i’m probably missing the obvious, i’m going to guess it’s to highlight the irony of the suggestion that we’re no longer a shared culture of still images by a cc-licensed webcomic that has viewers from all over the earth, no less.
In which Girl has nostalgia for a time before her time. Many strips ago, she was ranting against nostalgia.
She reminds me of my Aunt Susan. Schizoid over analysis has always been her forte. The many weird paths and conclusions are definitely unique and individual and drive the people around her nuts.
They took sociopath off the DSM diagnostic schedule ages ago, and with the way language evolves I have taken it up as a job title.
Just as you have an osteopath for bones or a homeopath for gullibility, a sociopath corrects society by calling out people who are being ****s
(I realise Australian bogan dialect English might get deleted, one of the nuances that delineates the crazy from the clinician)
Social mores are important, but they can mask a lot of sickness.
It is how a society develops a case of the trumps without any apparent warning.
I made 50 dollars betting back at the primary campaign he would win, I could see, but I am a professional.
I should have used a bookie instead of betting against my dad. The odds were so long back then.
But even money and being right was satisfactory.

No comments here, so I just thought I’d leave one. Because this here cartoon is pretty great. Why is the last row faded out, though, I wonder.

I think the fact that the last row of panels are faded indicates that they are parenthetical.

I went to youtube and searched for Why Do You Think You Are Nuts?
It was pretty amazing.

“schizoid” hasn’t meant split personality since the last millennium I think.
